All the above advice is great. Buying local and playing on the guitar is best for many reasons, but many of us can't do this so we depend on sound clip and dealer reputation and their opinion. Shipping cost money, so their is added expense. Everyone likes a different tone quality in their guitars. Here are my suggestions given the limited information you provided. 1. Get a lacquer finish . French polish is easier to damage. 2. Consider a used guitar. Many new guitars depreciate for a few years. Some dealers sell the same player a different guitar every few months and the ones they take in return are discounted considerably. A few unsightly scratches won't hurt the tone, but might drop the price. 3. Just because the guitar is signed by a famous maker doesn't mean it is the same guitar sound you hear on a recording. Look for a little known maker. 4. Instead of a concert guitars, look at student models.... 5. If you buy on ebay find out something about the seller before buying. There are some nice guitars from honest folks on there, but also some dealers unloading the "pound puppies" from their inventory. I have three flamenco guitars. I never can decide which one I like best, so I am trading off one and selling another to buy one guitar that is superior to either in my opinion. I will always keep the negra I made in 1974 although I don't prefer the negra sound for flamenco.
